As I talked about in the last post, the logical next wave of domain parking is content. "Content is the king" is latest slogan in the evolution of domain monetization. "what so new or evolutionary about creating website that contains useful information?" you ask. Isn't this why world wide web, or to some degree its predecessor Gopher became popular in the first place? The difference is, if you consider from a domain owners' perspective, how do you "develop" hundreds of website? The idea here isn't trying to turn your ONE website into the next facebook or youtube. The goal here is to generate a positive cash flow for each and everyone of your domain name. If you're able to make $100 per month per site, multiple that by 100 sites, you got yourself a very nice home business.
There sprung up few new "domain parking" companies such as DomainEmbarking, WhyPark, Noomle. Now "domain parking" isn't the name these companies like to use, and they are correct. Once the website contain information of some use, they are by definition no longer "parked." The new focus of these companies is to allow domain user easily develop websites with contents.
In my next installment, I'll have a detail look at some of these content based domain parking companies.
